Ciara Braun MA, LPC, NCC, CST

I am a certified sex therapist and specialize in erotic, intimacy and relationship concerns including couples therapy, infidelity recovery, desire discrepancies, conflict and communication skills for individuals and/or their partners. I am a sex-positive LGBTQI+ ally and am a poly-affirmative and kink-friendly therapist. I completed the post-graduate sex therapy and sex education certification at University of Michigan and am active in continuing education in the field of relationships, sex and sexuality. My treatment approach is based in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) which includes challenging expectations and self-talk and investigating patterns to help you better understand yourself and help to achieve your goals. I focus on educating the client, utilizing your strengths and providing techniques to overcome conflicts. My goal is not to diagnose you but to improve your life and your relationships to manage future concerns independently. I am the owner of Affinity Counseling Group with practice locations in Birmingham and Rochester Hills and have in-office and telehealth availability Monday-Thursday. Please call my office if you would like more information or to make an appointment!
